I Am Unstoppable

Chapter 72

Chapter 72 Alchemy Furnace

The commotion at the airport was quite huge at this point. It attracted the attention of a group of people as they stormed in from the entrance holding bright torchlights.

However, Jonathan could not bring himself to be happy, as those people were from the Crimson Onyx Sect. Since he and Amber were the only uninvited guests at the airport, surely they wouldn’t believe their words.

Among the people who had swarmed into the airport was an elderly man in a grey shirt. The man with a long, gray beard, who exuded an ethereal presence, was none other than Percy’s junior, Horace Saunders, otherwise known as Master Saunders.

When Horace and the rest of the Crimson Onyx Sect members arrived at the scene, they immediately saw what was going on. “What’s going on here, Gabriel?” Horace asked.

Gabriel replied indifferently, “These two people are the ones who murdered Master Yarrow! They were trying to steal a helicopter and escape, but I stopped them.”

Horace and the rest flew into a rage upon hearing Gabriel’s words. With the younger ones threatening to skin both Jonathan and Amber alive, there was a cacophony of noises at the scene.

After getting everyone to calm down, Horace looked at Gabriel intensely and said, “We’ve never met these two strangers before, so why would they even want to harm Percy? I believe there must be something fishy about this.”

“You’re right. That’s why I didn’t kill them and decided to capture and interrogate them,” Gabriel said.

Jonathan realized that Horace was not on Gabriel’s side and that he seemed to have quite a reputation in the Sect. Immediately, his spirits lifted as he held back the pain and said, “I didn’t kill Master Yarrow.

Gabriel’s the murderer! I have proof that he killed Master Yarrow!”

After that, he took out his phone, as he wanted to play a voice recording from it. He was not afraid of Gabriel right now. If Gabriel was daring enough to ruin the evidence on the spot, then Jonathan would be able to prove his innocence.

However, what made Jonathan feel a little confused was that at that moment, Gabriel seemed very calm as if his voice recording had nothing to do with him.

There’s something strange about this guy. It’s so hard to read him.

Nevertheless, Jonathan click the play button on the spot, but he was dumbfounded the very next moment because all they could hear on the phone was a static sound.

What the heck?

It finally dawned on Jonathan that Gabriel was indeed an expert from the Crimson Onyx Sect. He had deliberately interfered with the magnetic field around the area, successfully destroying the function of the voice recorder to receive signals.

There was pin-drop silence at the scene as Jonathan clutched his phone awkwardly. Then, sheepishly, he put his phone away, not knowing what else to say.

Horace’s face went pale as he said, “I’ll leave this to you, Gabriel. I hope you can give us a satisfactory explanation regarding this matter.”

“Rest assured, Master Saunders. I will certainly give everyone a satisfactory answer in three days.”

“Let’s go.” Horace turned around and left with the group of people, instantly disappearing without a trace.

The others had wanted to say something, but since Horace had already spoken, there was nothing they could do.

Jonathan immediately understood that Horace was obviously on the same side as Gabriel. It was the commotion here that gave him no choice but to bring his people over. Neither Horace nor Gabriel wanted to judge Jonathan publicly, as they were afraid of exposing themselves.

Now that Horace had spoken, the others did not dare to go against his words.

“F*ck!” Jonathan muttered, feeling extremely exhausted. As he was badly wounded from the fight, and after much torture, he eventually passed out.

After what seemed like an eternity, Jonathan finally regained his consciousness. And upon waking up, he broke out in a cold sweat and sat up abruptly when he was reminded of his current situation.

He scanned his surroundings while groaning in pain due to the sudden movements.

It was a quaint alchemy room, with a formation diagram on the ground in the middle of the room and an alchemy furnace hanging on top of the formation diagram.

However, the furnace was cold and unused.

There was also a small window on the far left of the alchemy room, where a bright ray of sunlight was shining in at that moment.

With his keen sense of perception, Jonathan could tell that it was already eight in the morning. In other words, he had passed out for about eight hours.

Where’s Amber? Jonathan suddenly thought of her and looked around the room. However, she was nowhere to be found. His heart sank. Now that Amber was in Gabriel’s hands, he was concerned about her terrible fate.

Oh well, on second thought, I should just worry about myself instead.

Jonathan had always been blessed with tremendous luck throughout his countless battles and travels. Yet, this time, he had fallen into Gabriel’s hands. Truth be told, he had no confidence in himself at all, and neither did he have a way to save himself right now. He realized that no matter how he tried, he could never escape from Gabriel.

Gabriel was like a monster, while Jonathan was like a poor, docile creature trapped in the monster’s cave.

Jonathan took a deep breath and immediately felt an ache in his lungs. Drake’s knee strike was so impeccable that Jonathan was badly injured on the inside. He was certain that the injuries would not heal completely without a year of cultivation and rest.

Not only that, but Jonathan was also shot in the shoulder. If he had not suffered any internal injuries, he could have controlled his musculoskeletal system and forced the bullet out of his body. However, it seemed that Jonathan could not do so right now.

It was eerily quiet inside the room. Lying on the floor, he could see the dome on the top of the room.

The alchemy room adopted a vintage style.

Thoughts whirled inside Jonathan’s head. Am I really going to die soon? Will there be a miracle for me? Even if there is a miracle, it’ll be snuffed out by Gabriel. He’s a smart and cunning man.

Jonathan then thought about his master and wondered where he had been. He had not seen his master for eight years after leaving the mountains. He’s such a powerful person. Where exactly did he go? Why is he avoiding me?

When one was on the verge of death, one would always think about their loved ones.

After that, Jonathan thought of Connor, as well as the enemies whom he had slain on the battlefield in Smealand.

He could not remember how many people he had killed after all these years.

In fact, Jonathan was not afraid to die. He only thought that it was a pity. Although he had killed countless people, he did not regret taking their lives. He had always slept soundly at night, without feeling any remorse or guilt in his heart.

At this moment, he thought of Jennifer. I should have forced her to take my bank card. Perhaps she’s the only one who will mourn for me after I die.

Scenes of Jennifer showering flashed through his mind all of a sudden. Indeed, Jonathan was quite an odd person. The one thing he regretted the most right now was that he had never slept with Jennifer for once. It’s such a shame that I won’t have the chance to enjoy Jennifer’s body if I die…

Just when he was engrossed with various thoughts in his mind, footsteps could be heard coming from outside the door.

There are two people. They must be Gabriel and Zachary.

Even though Jonathan was badly wounded, his sense of hearing was still sharp as ever.

Soon, the door was pushed open.

The bright morning sunlight shone into the room.

Almost instantly, the cold alchemy room was filled with warmth. The warm sunlight shone on Jonathan’s face and body, making him feel warm and cozy. It was something that he yearned for.

In fact, what he actually longed for was freedom.

Right then, two tall figures stood at the door, blocking most of the sunlight. As expected, they were Gabriel and Zachary. While Gabriel was still in his green suit, looking elegant and calm, Zachary, who was standing emotionlessly beside him, had already changed into a black suit.

Jonathan sat with his legs crossed and faced the both of them.

After they entered the room, Gabriel signaled Zachary to close the door.

The latter nodded and shut the door.

As soon as the door was closed, the room became dark again.

Zachary then brought a chair for Gabriel and stood behind him as the latter sat down opposite Jonathan in a condescending manner.

“Is there anything else you’d like to tell me, Chosen One?” Gabriel’s expression remained unchanged, his eyes cold just like his voice. All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jonathan looked at Gabriel and smiled bitterly. “Am I going to die soon?”

“Yes.” Gabriel nodded.

“Then can you let Amber go? She’s the girl who came with me.”

Gabriel gave him a nonchalant smile. “She’s a police officer, and she knows the address to this place. Do you think I’ll let her go that easily?”

Jonathan fell quiet. If he was Gabriel, he would have killed Amber as well. It was unfortunate that Amber was a police officer.

“Is there anything else you want to ask me?” Gabriel continued.

“There’s one more thing that I can’t put my finger on it. You can kill me, or do whatever you want to me. I have no power to resist you, anyway. But why are you wasting your time talking nonsense to me? People like you should have a purpose in everything you do.”

Slightly surprised, Gabriel said, “You’re indeed a wise man, Chosen One. That’s right. The reason I’m telling you this much is that I have my purpose.”

“And what are they?” Jonathan asked. “Do you mind telling me?”

“I’m going to refine you with the alchemy furnace when the stars align and the magnetic field is strong tonight.”

“What?” Jonathan gasped in astonishment. His voice was edged with fear. “Refine me using the alchemy furnace? Why?”

“You don’t have to be too scared about it. The refinement that you’re about to go through won’t burn you to death and turn your body into an elixir. Instead, I’m refining your willpower as well as your luck using the magnetic field and the formation diagram. Don’t worry. You won’t die inside the furnace. Because if you’re dead, your grievances will affect your luck, and with that, all that I’ve done will be in vain.”

Jonathan let out a faint sigh of relief and asked, “Aren’t you afraid that I will kill myself in that furnace by telling me all of this? You won’t let me go anyway. I will die sooner or later.”

“The reason I’m telling you all this is to get you to accept your fate. If you don’t, how am I going to refine your willpower? Besides, I’m certain that you won’t take your own life. Because once you have, your partner, the girl will encounter a terrible and tragic fate. You should know that death isn’t the most terrifying matter in this world.”
